I bought this (http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale-completed/tiger-60-with-os-61-for-sale/)
from Mr Madhavan (madhavan, on our forum, vinod_madhaav, cochinmadhavan on other forums) He was to send it through ST Courier   (www.stcourier.com/) in a Ply box, However due to paucity of time and apparently carpenter ditching him he sent it in a cartoon  > all nicely packed. ST courier took a long time and finally delivered it with (a) Tail plane and Rudder broken (b) Wings Punture at many places (d) Nose and inside fuselage all rat eaten (d) Engine Damaged (It is not rotating at all, given it to a expert at calcutta, he says the engine is RIP) (e) The wooden prop which Madhavan sent as a gift, rat eaten , i am using it to apply glue. (f) OS 40, looks intact, of course muffler etc cannot be attached as the screws   are missing, probably ST courier miss placed it.

Not Madhavan's fault, ST Courier probably, I emailed Madhavan with tons of photos, He looked at looked at it, felt bad, and correctly asked me to 'Move on'. I am moving on, wanted to share my moving on process with the members

more moving On's. I am trying to repair, lemme see what can be done as the model has been Rat eaten from the inside. Probably there are a lot of Rats in the Godown of the courier company

how do you intend to 'MOVE ON'  
 

Very bad courier service!

VC, we need more Ratbusters, what say ?

Yup! We need some cats here.

I also have bad experience with this ST courier.

Rats are also becoming Rc enthusiasts in India. >

Feeling bad about it.

Now please dont tell me that this is offtopic 

few days back a rat ate the covering of my gliders wing   ...... now have tO SERIOUSLY CATCH THAT MOUSE as yesterday i saw that it had cut the supply wire of my chargers adapter cable...and that was a jumbo size mouse.as my house is near the railways station one can very very imagine the size of it

I SMELL a rat!

1. Was the exterior of the carton intact?

1. How could rats (the ones in the godown) - even bandicoots - mess up the engine?

those rats must have got teeth of steel   

There was no carton it was delivered like this

no way  
Edit: thats a sad picture right there 

A cartoon of a carton! But seriously, how do you know this.

That's really a bad Picture.

i am sure he did because he sent me a pic of it.

i think your parcel fell a prey to a Tasmanian devil mj sir
it doesn't look  like a job done by any rodent

That really looks well packed! Wonder what happened.

I think it is wise to insist on insurance AT FULL VALUE at additional cost. I have had a very bad experience with some very expensive material sent to Ghaziabad, through GATI. Completely ruined because of poor handling and the insured value was not adequate to bear the loss.

Dear Wingco,

Any particular reason why you have smudged the name of the Addressee (Your own name), in the pic attached to reply # 15 above? 

Just curious...... 

i saw of late a lot of guests are viewing our forum. spiders, galore, to keep away from them, Submariner

VC
Rep #5 is a big cat, called the Black Panther, heard , last seen near the jungles of Guwahati

Spiders, rats, panthers and cats,

Whats happening to this forum? WILD!

This must be made good   Someone must sue them in some kind of court !

i agree anwar bhai,

I learnt a costly lesson, i was asked to move on, thereafter he is incommunicado.
I think, i am going to take his advice, imagine i crashed it in my maiden flight.

I think you should take some action; just to give the guys at the courier company some hard time so that they will atleast think before doing this to someone else.
